Citizen Militia Self Defense Groups

Citizen militia ‘self defense groups’ are popping up and taking proactive measures against corruption and tyranny.

You might be surprised to find out where…

…MEXICO

The Mexican Constitution (Article 10) and the enactment of the ‘Federal Law of Firearms and Explosives’, virtually forbids private citizens to carry a firearm (open or concealed).

For purposes of personal protection, firearms are only permitted within the place of residence (that means only inside the house) and of the type and small caliber permitted by law in Mexico for those who apply and are permitted.

Mexico has some of the strictest gun control laws in the world and also has one of the highest gun murder rates in the world. Apparently, gun control isn’t working (it never has).

A result has been the manifestation of drug cartels wielding corruption and control over the citizenry, legitimate businesses, and even the police and government itself. It may be shocking to some, but drug cartels and their criminal cohorts do not abide by the law…

Of late, the citizens have been taking matters into their own hands by forming what is being called ‘self defense groups’ or ‘self defense organizations’. One might compare these groups to that of militia – a body of citizen soldiers.

Self Defense Groups have been banding together and using their own weapons and firearms to battle back against the cartels and their corrupt accomplices.

Some are calling them vigilantes; but they are apparently making progress in some communities and cartel-controlled towns – while the Federales are apparently none too happy about it, as some say it may be affecting their bribe money in these regions and it shows their inability to control a citizenry who is becoming fed up with their slavery under corruption and tyranny.

There is a grass-roots movement afoot, and there is largely a media blackout on what is happening there.

Locals armed with machetes, kitchen knives, axes, Mauser rifles that have been hidden under floorboards, and old shotguns, have begun to patrol their neighborhoods. These neighborhood watches grew to cover whole parts of town, then whole towns. The citizens are fighting back with arsenals bolstered by captured and dropped AK47s, MAC-10s, and other guns acquired from the drug dealers foot soldiers.

They include a 63-year-old pot-bellied farmer mindful that he can run only 30 yards; a skinny 23-year-old raised in Oregon who said he had never used a gun before; and a man who wears a metal bowl stuffed with newspaper as a helmet.

What is happening is an armed social movement…thousands of citizen-fighters are pursuing the gangsters into the hills. “The only training we have is the courage we have inside.”

-The Washington Post

Vigilantes seized a drug cartel’s bastion in western Mexico on Sunday (JAN 12, 2014), sparking a shootout as the civilian militia gained new ground in their struggle against the gang…

Hundreds of armed civilians riding in more than 100 pickup trucks rolled into the Michoacan state town of Nueva Italia and were met by gunfire from presumed Knights Templar cartel members…

…the clash lasted around an hour and a half — two members of the self-defense unit were wounded — some sidewalks were soaked in blood in the town’s empty streets…

In a free society, based on the principle of inalienable individual rights, the state must not be granted the power to violate the rights of honest individuals. When these rights are violated, it is the duty of the people to take them back. It appears as though they are attempting to do just that… in parts of Mexico.

Citizen Militia Self Defense Groups according to the Obama Administration are home grown terrorist groups and should be removed from the country. there are no real militia groups in this country anymore as they have been infiltrated by the FBI. nobody now days will risk any anti-government groups and prison ,weapon charges. The days of the Turner Diaries are thing of the past.

The hell there ain’t! Every man above 16 or 18 is militia! We just haven’t gotten to the point they are in Mexico yet. You have to give them an A-plus for balls going after the criminals that have taken over their country. At this rate our people will be slipping across the border into Mexico instead of the opposite.

Ken thank you so much for getting a line on what is happening to our neighbors , the situation could easily spill over the border , we will see . It is a sign to alot of Patriots here that something can be done by the citizens ,even though they don’t have the big bad modern weapons systems like their government has , sometimes it can be small skirmishes here and there to take care if the many problems . In a situation here where the people would have to engage the government in a fight for our rights , we would have to use guerrilla tactics to begin with until our forces can be gathered and grouped to be able to be used enmass against the tyranny . Myself I am waiting for the trigger that will start the 2nd . Be prepared and ready.Keep your powder dry.

The world of post Vietnam Generation has changed, there are no more Revolutions being fought in the world. Now our boarders are the new war with Illegals, drug lords, weapons exchange,The talk of keeping the boarders safe what a joke. Canada, Mexico have open boarders very few check points and too many who risk it all for a peace of American Pie! Mexico like rest of south America have drug cartels, no secret But many who see Armed groups with Guns get the wrong message. They are not the Poncho Via men who crossed into Texas hoping to start a fight with the US Government.I have seen alot of groups come and go sense Post Vietnam. many had good motives, While others has extreme Anti-Government views. It is the same then as it is today, Nothing changes only the Year and Next Generation that follows. Talk, Talk, Talk But nothing gets done, As people don’t want to throw a stone in the water and create waves. In our NSA,DHS,BATFE,FBI,CIA Post 9/11 World. Th militias now are more like a historic re-enacting society than standing Army. Again, no group out there will take a stand for liberty without risk of being charged a Terrorist! People only use the internet, I-phone,Facebook,ect. too do their fighting with electronic Rambo’s at the keyboards blasting way at their enemies. Government fear’s what the turner diaries said, IT IS NOT WE THE PEOPLE,WHO SHOULD BE AFRAID OF GOVERNMENT, BUT THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE AFRAID OF THE PEOPLE!

Mexico has very strict laws that usually put down all drug dealers in the streets. They have been living in a total hell for the last 20 years because “as Ken mentions” most law enforcement is on the take and care nothing about the people only lining their pockets with drug money. Their problem is quite different than what we face here in the states. People are being taken and subjected to work as slaves to the Cartel and if they don’t they are killed. Our problem is not like this but it does give hope to them that if they stand TOGETHER they can stop this action. We here in the states have different problems but we can learn from their show of defiance against tyranny and despair. They are standing together as a whole against all the evil, maybe one day we will stand TOGETHER as a whole against the evil’s of our government.

just last wek, the Mexican military shot and killed four member’s of a group like this in Mexico. I believe it was due to the US complaining that it would be seen by “It’s” citizens and arms will be taken up here just to do it. Very sad to hear that Mexico would do that to it’s citizen’s. But, nothing surprises me any more.
If you Carry, Carry On!
